We have had the visite of Mitsuaki Matsumoto & Lauren Rodz to do a live session. Tonight you can listen to the result of it
Touché, touchée, tocade...
"effleurement de la musique par le son"
une rencontre d'improvisations en plusieurs temps
avec Mitsuaki Matsumoto et Lauren Rodz
Ils pratiquent une musique qui implique les différentes sensibilités contemporaines...
Parfois sensuelle et drole et d'autres fois grotesque et effrayante. Ils donnent à entendre la vibration de l'air et montrent le geste humble de l'expérimentation sentimentale...
Mitsuaki utilise un luth traditionnel japonais, la pipa.
Il traite les sons avec des effets electroniques...
Lauren utilise des sons electroniques bruts et divers objets détournés permettant d'explorer le concept d'oscillation harmonique.
En particulier de petites percussions et des anches

Arranged objects and electronics ...
A raw grasp over human activities from the sound point of view...
Activity of opening a door and accepting / transforming what you find beyond.
Laurenrodz performs in the field of improvised music, abstract noise... He performs with Elo Masing, Miriam Siebenstadt, Dario Fariello, Mathieu Garrouste, Naoto Yamagishi, Sebastien Lemporte, Alex Riva...
Laurenrodz works with improvised audio-visual performance,
the manipulation of rickety devices and imaginary operations peeking under the veil of daily things...
"Interweaving sound, movement and image in unexpected ways,
Laurent Rodriguez presents the audience with absurd and dada-esque performances, enacted with beauty, humour, and poetic evanescence. With a range of influences going from experimental cinema to fluxus performance, to pull disparate ideas into new forms of interactive media, striking a peculiar balance between deconstructionist abstraction and primordial weirdness." - Cal Lyal
